Comment on Show HN: Mummify – Preserve web content, fight link rot

Comments

Most of the time, one will not know which pages one links to will disappear in the future. This service therefore only seems really useful if you use it with every link you make. That would make the biggest plan short on "mummies" by a couple of orders of magnitude, at least.

Not every page one visits is worth storing. The whole point is to filter out (and save) the good from the rest.

An aside: Mummify needs browser plugins for all the major browser to make saving as seamless as possible.

If this is a tool to "fight link rot", then we're not talking about every page one visits, we're talking about every page one links to. Presumably, every page worth linking to is also worth saving.
